About your hotel stays
This itinerary is bookended by stays in Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap:
- Two nights in Ho Chi Minh City... stay at the 5-star Le Meridien Saigon, which sits right on the banks of the Saigon River. Join a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels, used by the Viet Kong during the Vietnam War, and explore the city with a guide.
- Two nights in Siem Reap... Shinta Mani Angkor is in the city's French Quarter. Wake early to watch the sunrise over Angkot Wat, and sit down to a traditional Khmer dinner with an apsara dance performance.
Cruise highlights
- Sa Dec... this peaceful city is criss-crossed with canals, orchards, and floating flower markets. You'll tour Huynh Thuy Le Old House, a riverfront mansion frozen in time since 1895.
- Phnom Penh... visit the Choeung Ek killing fields. This is a harrowing experience, but one that is essential to understanding Cambodian history. Spend the afternoon at leisure.
- Oudong monastery... attend a Buddhist blessing ceremony among the stupas and pagodas of Oudong. This is the ancient mountain capital of Cambodia.
- Angkor Ban... sail to this remote village to visit a local family and learn about rural life. Admire traditional stilt houses and the town's Khmer-style pagoda.

Head to the Sun Deck to unwind as you travel. Order drinks at the bar (supplements apply), soak up the sun from your deckchair, or take a dip in the pool.
Dine at the Mekong Restaurant, visit the Saigon Lounge for drinks, or order light bites and coffees at Le Viet Nam Cafe. International wines and local beers are served with lunch and dinner.
Deluxe Twin Balcony Suites have both indoor and outdoor balconies with sweeping views.
